I only have Distiller 6 and received a Distiller 7 joboptions file called "PDFA1b 2005 RGB.joboptions". When I add this file to my Distiller and save it again, the resulting joboptions differs a bit from the original one that I received. Therefore I'm not sure whether generating PDF/A compliant PDFs with Distiller 6.0.1 is possible at all.

Can you tell me, if the PDFs I generate with this joboptions file on Distiller 6.0.1 are PDF/A compliant, please? If that's not the case, can you point me to a place where I can get a suitable joboptions file for my Distiller?

Sorry if this are dumb questions. I never cared a lot about the Distiller settings and only printed with the predefined joboptions.

OK, so you want to stamp your document. Maybe you need to give reviewers some advice about the document's status or sensitivity. This tip from author Ted Padova demonstrates how to add stamps with the Stamp Tool along with related comments.
